Midland Industries 28035 Forged Brass Union Tee 1/2 in Nptf

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 28035 is a forged brass union tee designed for threaded pipe assemblies requiring a secure, leak-resistant three-way connection. All three ports are 1/2-inch Female NPTF with a 1/2-14 thread specification, providing a dry-seal fit that reduces the risk of leakage without relying solely on thread sealant. Rated to 1200 psi, this fitting handles demanding pressure conditions found in industrial and mechanical systems. The forged brass construction delivers superior strength and corrosion resistance compared to cast alternatives. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install this fitting in fuel, air, water, and hydraulic line applications.

This union tee is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, pneumatic systems, and general mechanical installations where a tee connection with union-style disassembly is required. The NPTF dry-seal thread form is compatible with brass, bronze, copper, steel, aluminum, and iron pipe, making it adaptable across a wide range of system types. Its compact body, with a 1-inch center-to-end dimension, fits into tight spaces where standard tee fittings may not.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the system type. Depressurize and drain the line fully before removing any existing fitting or installing this union tee. NPTF dry-seal threads are designed to seal on the thread form itself; apply thread sealant per the system fluid and local code requirements. Avoid over-tightening, which can crack brass fittings or distort the sealing surfaces.
